Wow! She is allegedly having a dark money funded site publish references to articles from yet another site that says she was "extorted" into the plea deal. Let's muddy the waters and plant doubts in the minds of the jury pool (it only takes one) and give Trump talking points while sheltering her several layers deep from a gag order. Sounds like a Steve Bannon play.
I'm with you Georgia. She must throw Guiliani and TFFG under the bus big time in her deposition and it must be as believable as Cassie Hutchinson was during the hearings.
IтАЩll just fit this in right here. Correct me if I m wrong, but itтАЩs my understanding that if Syd reneges on her plea agreement, or any of them for that matter, itтАЩs back to pre-agreement of full sentencing. 5-20 in the Georgia state penitentiary with no early parole. Fines, disbarred, felonies. I would think that would be quite a discouragement from try to play the prosecution.
I havenтАЩt read the article, but listened to an earlier podcast where Powell pretty much spills the beans on how she got involved in all this. I also would hope she under a gag order?
"She" hasn't said anything directly. So the play here is that "she" has done nothing to violate her plea agreement. "She" is not responsible for what others attribute to her without her knowledge. This is straight out of the Bannon playbook.
As I understand it, the value of both Cheese and Kraken is not their testimony in court, but the hard evidence they've provided in terms of detailed contemporaneous notes and records.
The problem with "witnesses" like Cheese and Kraken is that they are already known to be liars: if they believed their conspiracy theories, they are lying now to take the deal, while if they didn't believe them, the were lying then. There is no particular reason to offer them any kind of deal in exchange for unverifiable future testimony. What they've given up is hard evidence, and my understanding is that the prosecution would not have offered the deal without seeing and evaluating the evidence: they wouldn't buy a bag of magic beans.
Good way to lose a cushy plea deal and end up in a Georgia jail. You don't get to play these games when you plead guilty in exchange for dropped charges.
The sentence for crime is coercion. No one really wants to go to jail for years, and do it only because they are forced to.
A plea deal is a negotiated offer, and either side is completely free to decline the offer. If Kraken didn't like the offer, but was stupid enough to take it anyway, that's on her.
And now, Sidney Powell is allegedly claiming she was extorted to take a guilty plea. There is no bottom on this barrel.

Otherwise, she should be doing some serious time.

Read the article. ItтАЩs eye opening. And short.
That seems right, but I'm not a lawyer so my opinion is just that.
Lawyers: how will this affect her cooperation agreement with Willis? SheтАЩs undermining Willis, so how can she be a useful witness?

Aha. Good point. I hadnтАЩt realized she herself had remained quiet.
It only takes one, and this is a slimy bunch of eels.
He could likely be advising her.
Gag her ass!
Surprise surprise! (not)
Sidney Powell is a very disturbed and unstable individual.
She's looking at all her options. She's a turd.
Well duh! She is a Republican so turd is a given
The cracken has settled.
The DA should withdraw the deal and prosecute Powell.
Especially now that a much more valuable witness (Chesebro) has also taken a plea.
looks like she chooses jail...Fulton County would be a good start

ЁЯдгЁЯдгЁЯдг More likely, it was on the advice of her own lawyer.
I mean, isn't every plea deal technically coerced?
Nope. That's an inside-out way of looking at it.

I loathe her too!
